The holidays are fast approaching and with them come winter break, time at home, and opportunity for enrichment outside the classroom. Are your children registered to spend their time at camp – having fun, building relationships, and developing skills to last a lifetime? Who knew the camp experience was possible during the school year? If you are looking for camp programs, look no further than your own backyard. These camps are members of the American Camp Association and are either ACA accredited or working toward accreditation, which is to say they are committed to providing your child with the highest quality camp experience.
